RATINGS

20Clive Coates

...even better than his Clos-de-Beze. Very very rich and concentrated. Splendid intensity of fruit. It is difficult to conceive of young vine being better than this. Excellently concentrated. Fabulous intensity of fruit. Grand Vin.

93Burghound.com

Perfumed yet advanced mature Burgundy aromas offering a stunningly complex melange of spice, leather, earth and dark fruits that introduce very rich, forward, medium weight flavors and exceptional length.

92Wine Spectator

A solid wine that's not giving much now. Has a satiny texture and fine, toasted, gamy violet and berry aromas and flavors. All the elements are in place for excellence; time will tell exactly how great it will be.

REGION

France, Burgundy, Côte d'Or, Côte de Nuits, Gevrey-Chambertin, Le Chambertin

Chambertin is a 32.5 acre Grand Cru vineyard in the Gevrey-Chambertin appellation. More than 25 proprietors own parcels, and some parcels are as small as about 50 square yards. The famous vineyard gets its name from a 7th century peasant, Monsieur Bertin. The name is assumed to come from the phrase “champ Bertin,” or Bertin’s field. Chambertin has an altitude that varies from 275 to 300 meters and is tucked under the Montagne de la Combe-Grisard, sheltering the site from strong winds. The soil is limestone, though there is also clay and gravel. Principal proprietors by acreage owned are Armand Rousseau, 5.38 acres; Jean and Jean-Louis Trapet, 4.75 acres; and Rossignol-Trapet, 4 acres.

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir, Grand Cru

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
